Several times you've said you'd get total support for an idea, and several times I have proven you wrong.
It doesn't count if it is just you and NZlockie. I feel like I can generate more discussion on the forums than on the feature request tracker.

Since you are giving me the smackdown though, I'll make a feature request right now.

No
Okay, then somebody better tell me where all the debaters are.

Yeah. The vast majority of domain names related to debate were bought up a long time ago by investors who will only sell for a giant price. edeb8 was convenient because using the 8 both shortened it, made it memorable, and made it available, since few such investors think in terms of numbers standing for letters.

If there isn't a copyright on the name E Debate spelled out, I suggest making that the full name of the site on the homepage and in other places. It essentially means the same thing as Edeb8.

Differing domain and site names to help seo? Quite the opposite. I've always found the more closely the domain links to site titles, the stronger a site ranks overall.
I'll take your word for it. I assumed having the world debate plastered everywhere instead of Edeb8 would help people find the site when searching with the tag 'debate'

I have a feature tracker that proves otherwise.
Uh, only two people voted on that to my knowledge. I'd reckon I asked about fifteen people altogether about it. Let's face it, the site is dead activity wise. Nobody is there to vote on features.

Also, it would help if there were paths to the feature tracker outside of the sitemap. It seems that the Feature Tracker is more important than groups atm, so it should definitely be on the header.

Woot!

People come around here, it's just a struggle to get them to actually participate.

Would it help if I put vote counts in there somewhere for "number of users who have voted on this feature"? I was thinking of making the list sortable by different criteria anyway, so, there's something to think about.

My profile ;)

I thought about throwing it on the footer at one stage. Decided the footer was kinda clogged I think. Might reconsider.

I'd come here more often if it weren't for the fact that one particular person tries to completely control the culture of the site. At DDO, it's easy to avoid trolls, but here trolls (or people who have aspergers and literally can't shut up about petty things), kind of control the culture of the site.

I've literally had like 10 people PM me and say one particular individual and their overbearing presence is why they avoid the site. Participation in this site would take a couple of months to get there but shoot up about 2000% (so 20 additional people participating), if this individual would either quit having an overbearing presence or if they actually just left.

I do think said person (who's name will remain unmentioned) is incapable of changing to stop having an overbearing presence, due to a psychological disorder. Said person will also not likely get banned, because they don't technically break any rules, they're just incapable of seeing their own poisonous effect on the site as a whole.

However, I'm willing to leave this Site for 2-3 weeks if it boosts participation.

admin: My opponent didn't accept in time. I filled out the stuff and he didn't. I think it was mentioned on the thread. Should be the second forfeit against me if I'm not mistaken
